The ad, which was later deleted from Miracle Mattress' social media and website, featured a store manager and two employees promoting the sale of all sizes of mattresses for the price of twin mattresses.

The two employees fall backward onto a pile of mattresses as the ad concludes, which was meant to symbolize the falling of the towers.

Store owner Mike Bonanno issued a statement after the ad was removed.

"I was made aware of a social media video produced by our San Antonio team highlighting a promotional sale using the upcoming 9/11 anniversary as the incentive. The video was posted on Facebook without my knowledge or approval from our corporate office in Houston.

"I say this unequivocally, with sincere regret: The video is tasteless and an affront to the men and women who lost their lives on 9/11. Furthermore, it disrespects the families who lost their loved ones and continue to struggle with the pain of this tragedy every day of their lives," the statement said. "It was a stupid idea that we sent out, and we apologize for our stupidity ... and we really hope you forgive us for what we've done."
